Gordon looking for All-Star dunk title

NEW ORLEANS — Aaron Gordon is not giving any hints on what he’ll do for an All-Star dunk contest encore. He just hopes it’s enough this time around. The runner-up in last year’s All-Star dunk contest, Gordon is likely considered the favourite going into this year’s edition that will be held on Saturday night. The Orlando Magic forward lost a dunk-off a year ago to Minnesota’s Zach LaVine, who is injured and not defending his title. “You’re going to have to wait until Saturday to see my ideas,” Gordon said. “It’s going to be innovative. It’s going to be technologically oriented. It’s going to be original and creative. You’ll see.”
